Firmware

Firmware is a kind of operating system software that runs on microcontrollers (tiny computers) such as used in the digitizers. It handles the capture of analog signals, communication with digital (I2C) sensors, their translation into MIDI messages and communication with I-CubeX software, in both standalone mode as well as host mode. It adds intelligence to the digitizer hardware in the form of the features described below. Starting with digitizers that use version 5.0 of the I-CubeX firmware, the digitizers' firmware can be updated with newer firmware versions.
